Answer:

Explanation:

Hund's Rule of Maximum Multiplicity states that electrons go into degenerate orbitals of sub-orbitals(p, d and f) singly before pairing commences.

Hund's rule is useful in determining the number of unpaired electrons in an atom. Hence, it explains some of the magnetic properties of elements.

An element whose atoms or molecules contain unpaired electrons is paramagnetic.

The element whose atoms or molecules contain orbitals that are all filed up with paired electron is diamagnetic.

Fill in the blanks: Electrons are ___ in an ionic bond, whereas they are___ in a polar covalent bond, and ___ in a nonpolar cova

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is "transferred; unequally shared; equally shared".

Explanation:

Ionic bonding occurs when a positively charged atom (cation) interacts with a negatively charged atom (anion). In ionic bonding, the cation transfers its electron to the anion. In polar covalent bonding, electrons are unequally shared. This means that the electrons spend more time in an atom than the other, which gives partial positive and negative charges to the atoms. On the other hand in nonpolar covalent bonding, the electrons are equally shared and no charges are created.

A mixture containing 20 mole % butane, 35 mole % pentane and rest

notka56 [123]

Answer:

2.5 % butane, 42.2 % pentane and 55.3 % hexane

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the mass balance for each substance is given by:

$Butane:z_bF=y_bD+x_bB\\\\Pentane: z_pF=y_pD+x_pB\\\\Hexane: z_hF=y_hD+x_hB$

Whereas $y$ accounts for the fractions at the outlet distillate and $x$ for the fractions at the outlet bottoms. Moreover, with the 90 % recovery of butane, we can write:

$0.9=\frac{y_bD}{z_bF}$

So we can compute the product of the molar fraction of butane at the distillate by total distillate flow by assuming a 100-mol feed:

$y_bD=0.9*z_bF=0.9*0.2*100mol=18mol$

The total distillate flow:

$y_bD=18mol\\\\D=\frac{18mol}{0.95} =18.95mol$

And the total bottoms flow:

$F=D+B\\\\B=F-D=100mol-18.95mol=81.05mol$

Next, by using the mass balance of butane, we compute the molar fraction of butane at the bottoms:

$x_b=\frac{z_bF-y_bD}{B} =\frac{0.2*100mol-18mol}{81.05} =0.025$

Then, the molar fraction of pentane and hexane:

$x_p=\frac{z_pF-y_pD}{B} =\frac{0.35*100mol-0.04*18.95mol}{81.05} =0.422$

$x_h=\frac{z_hF-y_hD}{B} =\frac{(1-0.2-0.35)*100mol-(1-0.95-0.04)*18.95mol}{81.05} =0.553$

Therefore, the molar composition of the bottom product is 2.5 % butane, 42.2 % pentane and 55.3 % hexane.

NOTE: notice the result is independent of the value of the assumed feed, it means that no matter the basis, the compositions will be the same for the same recovery of butane at the feed, only the flows will change.

Regards.
